Liquor Is A Symphony



Liquor is a symphony, playing on my tongue
Each sip a note, a melody to be savored
A symphony of flavors, a harmony of scents
A symphony of colors, a feast for the eyes
I love the way it dances on my palate
My heart races, my senses are delighted

The first note hits me hard, a burst of flavor
A bitter-sweetness, the perfect harmony
Then comes the chorus, my palate in a frenzy
Savoring each moment, my heart feels delighted
The melody crescendos, my senses come alive
A symphony of flavors, all blended in harmony

The notes dance around, my nostrils take in the scents
A sweet aroma fills my soul, I am hypnotized
I am lost in the music, in the rhythms and colors
A symphony of life, a feast for my senses
My tongue is alive, my heart is excited
I am grateful for this pleasure, this symphony of liquor

As the music begins to fade, like a final melody
I am left with a sense of satisfaction, a taste of harmony
An aftertaste lingers, my palate is delighted
The flavors and scents still dance in my senses
A symphony of pleasure, a song for my tongue
A beautiful thing, this symphony that is liquor

So I raise my glass, to this symphony that is liquor
To the flavors and scents, to the notes that hit my tongue
To the melody that plays, to the harmony in my senses
I am grateful, I am delighted
For this beautiful thing, this symphony in my mouth
A masterpiece of colors, a wonderland of scents

And so, the symphony ends, the music fades away
But the memory lingers, of flavors, scents, and harmony
Of a melody that hits my soul, a song for my tongue
Liquor is a symphony, that always leaves me delighted.

I'm just a regular, blue collar, working stiff who took an interest in writing poetry many years ago but until recently I haven't had a desire to share any with anyone or pursue publication. I'm an unpublished fork lift operator by night, and a day drinker by choice. I can be followed on Twitter @JoeStricklandSC more…
